Salesforce is built for 500+ person companies with dedicated admins. We're built for 10–100 person teams — with the implementation team bundled in and a guarantee in writing.

The rows below are what actually matters for an SMB paying Salesforce prices. We've tried to be honest about the places Salesforce wins — there are real ones.

Common objections
We've built years of Salesforce customizations. Can we really migrate?
Our team has done 100+ Salesforce migrations. Custom objects, process builders, validation rules, reports — we reverse-engineer your org and rebuild it in Prerak. Typical timeline: 3–4 weeks. We run a dry-run first; if it doesn't come clean, you don't pay.
Our team knows Salesforce. Retraining is expensive.
That's valid — but the math usually works against staying. A mid-market Salesforce Admin costs $80–120K/year. Our implementation team handles what that admin does for year 1 — included in monthly. After go-live, Prerak requires less admin time than Salesforce by design. We also run live training sessions and record everything specific to your business.
Salesforce has 150,000 integrations. You can't match that.
You're right on count. You're wrong on relevance. The average SMB uses 5–8 integrations: Slack, Stripe, QuickBooks, Zapier, Gmail/Outlook, and one or two vertical tools. We have all of those. The 149,992 others are built for enterprises. We also publish a REST API and support Zapier for the long tail.
What if we grow and need to go back to Salesforce?
We'll help you migrate out. Seriously. We've done three Prerak → Salesforce migrations for teams who crossed 500 seats and needed multi-cloud. Your data is always exportable in standard CSV + JSON. No lock-in clauses. If you outgrow us, we celebrate it.
